When you visit America, you will see the word Motel on signs and notice boards. It is made up of ―motor‖ and ―hotel‖ and it is really a hotel for people who arrive by car (however, you don’t need a car to stay at one). You have to pay when you arrive for your room, which usually has a bath. Meals are not provided, but there will certainly be a cafeteria (自助餐馆). Americans eat a lot of salads a nd sandwiches. Along the main roads there are a lot of motels. Each tries to offer more than next. Some provide television in every bedroom; others have swimming pools; and so on. Motels are especially useful when you are in the country, far from a town or city. You will also find them in the big National Parks.
In these great National Parks, you may meet guests you don’t expect to see. An American friend told me a little story. In the middle of a moonless night she heard strange noises outside her motel window in the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Thinking it might be a thief, she jumped out of bed, opened the door and crept towards a dark shadow. As she got close, she saw the thief. She was dreadfully frightened: it wasn’t a human thief — it was a big black bear. The bear was turning over some empty tins with its paw, looking for tasty bits of food. My friend decided to leave that particular thief alone!
There are also, of course, places called ―rooming houses‖, where they receive lodgers (房客). You will see such signs as Tourists or Rooms Rent, and you could try one of these. A word of warning — looking fo r a room in New York during the tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon!
61. Which of the following is TRUE about motels?
A. The word ―motel‖ is formed by two words.
B. They are free for people who arrive by car.
C. If you want to stay at a motel, you must have a car.
D. You can only find motels in the big National Parks.
62. Which of the following is NOT provided by motels?

B. Swimming pools.
C. TV.
D.Baths.
63. The underlined word ―crept‖ in the second paragraph probably means ―______‖.
A. ran fast
B. rushed out
C. threw away
D.moved slowly
64. The second paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A. an interesting story
B. we may meet animals in the National Parks
C. the experience of the author’s friend
D. bears usually look for food at night
65. From the last paragraph, we can learn that in New York during the tourist season ______.
A. tourists can find gold there
B. it is difficult to find a room there

My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn’t know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of ―nameless‖ people have changed our thinking. Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: where’s the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesn’t have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.
We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off, they’re still holding hands. The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape confirmed that she’d delivered the child. We even felt a little pride at the thought of our extended family.
For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus.
We greeted her with friendly familiarity we’d shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she spoke, the words escaped awkwardly from her lips. All at once we realized why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.
Over dinner; we learned the story of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home. She missed him desperately, she explained.
―I love him… and he loves me, even though he doesn’t express it very well,‖ she murmured. ―Lots of us have that problem, don’t we? We don’t say what we want to say, what we should be saying. And that’s not good enough.‖The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better. But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends—we shared names.
66.Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?
A. Going to Work by Bus
B. The Silent Woman on the Bus
C. Friends of the Road
D. Different Kinds of Friendship
67.All the following statements can describe the woman except ______.
A. poor
B. warm -hearted
C. cold
D. silent
68.The underlined word ―establish‖ in the third paragraph probably has the same mean ing as .
A. set up
B. discover
C. keep
D. accept

A. She was worried about her disabled son.
B. She was sad to see the happy Mexican couple us a single mother.

D
The iPhone, the iPad, each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter ―i‖ –and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer – which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet –adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear – popular in the US and UK – that plays music and video is called ―iTeddy‖. A slimmed-down version of London’s Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name ―i‖.
In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail
and e-commerce first came into use.
Most ―i‖ products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s ―i‖, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.
But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter ―i‖. Why not use ―a‖, ―b‖, or ―c‖ instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, ―i‖ works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses ―i‖, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, ind ividual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. ―Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,‖ he says.
―However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability.‖ adds Thorne.
Clearly the letter ―i‖ also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason. Along with ―Google‖ and ―blog‖, readers of BBC Magazines voted ―i‖ as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.
But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with ―2000‖ in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably(不可避免地) disappeared.
71. People use iPlayer to __________.
A. watch TV programs online
B. make a call
C. listen to music
D. read newspapers
72. We can infer that the Independe nt’s ―i‖ is aimed at __________.
A. fashionable women
B. old readers
C. young readers
D. engineers
73. The underlined word ―ambiguous‖ means ―__________‖.
A. popular
B. uncertain
C. definite
D. unique
74. Nowadays, the ―i‖ term often reminds people of the products which are __________.
A. recyclable
B. environmentally friendly
C. advanced
D. portable
75. The writer suggests that __________.
A. the popularity of ―i‖ products may not last long
B. iTeddy is alive bear
C. the letter ―b‖ replaces letter ―i‖ to name the products
D. ―i‖ products are often of high quality

（1）While adults need to eat breakfast each day to perform their best, kids need it even more. Their growing bodies and developing brain rely heavily on the regular intake of food. When kids skip breakfast（不吃早餐）, they can end up going for as long as eighteen hours without food. This period of semi-starvation can create a lot of physical, intellectual, and behavioral problems for them．

By recharging your brain and your body, you’ll be more efficient in just about everything you do．（3）Interestingly, studies show that kids who skip breakfast are late for and absent from school more often than children who eat breakfast on a regular basis. Time invested in breakfast is much more valuable than the few extra minutes of sleep you might get by skipping the morning meal. If you and your kids seem unable to make time for breakfast, consider enrolling your children in a school breakfast program. If possible, pack a breakfast brown-bag the night before so that you and your kids can eat on the way to school and work．

One possible version:
Travelling
Travelling is a very good activity. When you are free，you can go to a beautiful place to enjoy the beauty of nature. You can breathe the fresh air，meet different people and make friends with them. Thus you will relax.
But travelling is not always pleasant. For example，the weather can be changeable. You may be caught in the rain and may catch a cold while travelling. You may have your money stolen or may be injured.
Therefore，when going on a trip，you must prepare yourself carefully. You should have clear information about the weather，choose a good travelling companion and be very careful about where you go so as to avoid accidents. If so，you will surely enjoy
yourself.。
